>> DO YOU HAVE A PERSON OF
INTEREST?
IS IS THERE A PERSON OF INTEREST
IN THIS CASE RIGHT NOW?
>> AGAIN, WE WANT TO PROVIDE AS
MUCH INFORMATION AS POSSIBLE,
AND I THINK WE’VE BEEN
CONSISTENT AND IS HAVE SAID WE
DO NOT HAVE A SUSPECT OR A
PERSON OF INTEREST AT THIS TIME.
WE ARE BUILDING, AGAIN, AS YOU
MENTIONED BEFORE, BUILDING A
PROFILE, BUILDING A PICTURE.
WE’RE TRYING TO PUT ALL THE
PIECES TOGETHER.
AND WHEN THE TIME COMES, WE WILL
MOST DEFINITELY PUT THAT
INFORMATION OUT.
JOEY: INVESTIGATORS REMAIN
TIGHT-LIPPED AS THEY’RE STILL ON
THE HUNT FOR A SUSPECT.
TODAY MARKS TWO WEEKS AS FOUR
UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO STUDENTS
WERE BRUTALLY STAB ISED TO DEATH
INSIDE THEIR HOME.
FORMER FBI INVESTIGATOR BILL
DALEY JOINS US NOW.
GOOD MORNING, BILL.
>> GOOD MORNING, JOEY.
JOEY: THERE’S BEEN A LOT OF
PRESSURE ON THIS IDEA OF
TARGETING, WHAT THAT MEANS AND
HOW THEY MIGHT KNOW IT.
WHY DO YOU THINK IT IS THAT THEY
BELIEVE SOMEONE WAS TARGETED AND
WHY THEY’RE NOT TELLING US HOW
THEY KNOW THAT?
>> WELL, FIRST OF ALL, YOU HAVE
TO REALIZE THERE IS THE KILLER’S
LOOSE OUT THERE, SO THE MORE
INFORMATION THEY PROVIDE --
WHICH, BY THE WAY, I THINK HEAVY
HANDLED IT VERY WELL AT POINT.
IN THE MEANTIME, YOU DON’T NEED
TO EITHER GET PEOPLE’S CONCERNS
FURTHER OUT THERE IN THE
COMMUNITY OR SIGNAL SOMETHING TO
A KILLER.
BUT I THINK, YOU KNOW, SOME OF
THE THINGS SURROUNDING, YOU
KNOW, THIS HORRENDOUS INCIDENT,
THE FACT THAT THERE WERE TWO
PEOPLE WHO WERE SLEEPING DOWN
STAIR ISES WHO WERE UNHARMED,
AND IT DOES SEEM TO BE SOMETHING
THAT SOMEONE WOULD HAVE EITHER
HAD TO KNOW THE INSIDE OF HOME,
KNOW THEIR ROUTINE, THERE ARE
SOME THINGS AROUND THIS THAT
DON’T RING TRUE, AT LEAST IN MY
MIND, AS TO BE SOME KIND OF
RANDOM BREAK-IN IN THE MIDDLE OF
THE NIGHT AND JUST HAPPENED UPON
THESE INDIVIDUALS.
IF IT WAS SOMEONE ON A RAMPAGE,
YOU WOULD ARE THOUGHT THEY WOULD
HAVE ALSO GONE DOWNSTAIRS AND
HARMED THE OTHER PEOPLE.
THERE ARE A COUPLE THINGS THAT
SUGGEST THERE WAS SOMETHING IN
THESE PEOPLE’S ORBIT WHERE ONE
OF THE VICTIM’S ORBIT THAT
CAUSED THIS INCIDENT TO COME
ABOUT BY THIS MURDERER.
JOEY: I THINK A LOT OF US SIT
HERE, AND IT FEELS LIKE WE’RE
LOOKING AT THIS GOING, MAN, THEY
DON’T HAVE MUCH HERE.
THEY’RE NOT NAMING A SUSPECT,
THEY’RE NOT SENDING US IN A
DIRECTION OF HAVING FAITH IN
THIS GETTING SOLVED SOON.
YOU KNOW, ONE THING I WANT TO
POINT OUT IS THEY DID COME OUT
AND SAY, LISTEN, THESE MURDERS
THAT HAPPENED IN OTHER STATES,
ONE OF THEM SPECIFICALLY IN
OREGON THAT WAS A STABBING, WE
DON’T BELIEVE THERE’S A
CONNECTION THERE.
IS THE SIMPLE FACT THAT THEY CAN
RULE THAT OUT, IS THAT EVIDENCE
THAT MAYBE THEY DO HAVE MORE
THAN WHAT WE KNOW?
>> WELL, I THINK IT’S PERHAPS
COMFORTING, YOU KNOW, TO KNOW
THAT THEY’VE RULED IT OUT, THAT
THERE ISN’T SOMEONE LOOSE IN THE
NORTHWEST AREA WHO’S COMMITTING
THESE CRIMES.
AND I DO THINK THAT THERE ARE
SOME THINGS HERE THAT BY NOT
HEARING CERTAIN THINGS FROM THE
POLICE, I THINK THEY HAVE A LOT
MORE THAN WE’RE AWARE OF.
WE KNOW THAT THEY’VE ACTUALLY
HAD LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF
INTERVIEWS CONDUCTED AND
SIMILARLY HUNDREDS OF OF PIECES
OF FORENSIC EVIDENCE COLLECTED.
IT IS, JOEY, KIND OF LIKE AN
ONION HERE.
THEY’RE PEELING IT BACK.
IT’S T NOT ONE OF THESE CRIMES
THAT INITIALLY KIND OF REVEALS
ITSELF.
IN MANY CASES, WITHIN A FEW DAYS
YOU’LL FIND OUT THERE WAS
SOMEONE CLOSELY ASSOCIATED WITH
THE VICTIMS WHO MAY BE
RESPONSIBLE, A FAMILY MEMBER,
SOMEONE ELSE.
IN THIS CASE IT’S LOOKING
FURTHER OUT AND TALKING ABOUT
THE ORBITS, IT’S SOMEONE FURTHER
OUT PERHAPS MT.OVER BIT WHO --
IN THE ORBIT WHO MAY BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS.
WE WERE TALKING ABOUT FORENSIC
EVIDENCE, AND PEOPLE ASK
WOULDN’T THEY HAVE FINGERPRINTS
AND DNA?
MY POINT IS THAT, YOU KNOW,
FINGERPRINTS OR DNA OR ONLY GOOD
IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO COMPARE
IT TO.
OUR FINGER PRINTS ARE ON FILE,
BUT YOU’VE NEVER BEEN FINGER
PRINTED OR DON’T HAVE YOUR DNA
MT. DATABASE, IT’S GOOD AFTER
THE FACT WHEN YOU FIND THE
SUSPECT, BUT NOT MESSILY
SOMETHING THAT’S AN AHA MOMENT.
JOEY: THANK YOU FOR YOUR
EXPERTISE.
I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU
POSED THE IDEA THE FACT WE DON’T
HAVE THOSE ANSWERS DOESN’T MEAN
THE POLICE CAN DOESN’T HAVE
THOSE ANSWERS.
HOPEFULLY, WE PRAY THAT THE
FAMILIES GET RESOLUTION,
